Ezekiel Elliott and Dez Bryant

You can see right before Romo’s injury, Elliott and Bryant were being drafted one after the other as the 10th and 11th picks overall in fantasy football drafts.

Today, Elliott has climbed even higher to the 7th overall position. Meanwhile, Dez has dropped to the mid-second round. A sharp drop for a top-tier receiver that will have a rookie quarterback throwing him the ball.

Conclusion

Clearly, fantasy owners are projecting that Dallas will take a more run-heavy approach while Romo is injured. It also indicates confidence in Dak Prescott to keep the offense moving.
